Re: Passed my Theory!!

Well I've had the bike for just over 2 weeks now and only been out once on it, didn't go very far either.

Been too busy decorating and the weather has been awful as well, or am I making excuses.

When I did go out I kept stalling it at every junction, feel like I've forgotten everything I picked up on the cbt.




Not going to give up thou.

Paul.

Re: Passed my Theory!!

You'll soon get the hang of it, dont worry, we all stalled bikes one time or other.
Weather has been a bit crap, but when its dry, get yourself out an about, miles will soon be under ya belt m8

Great bike you have there!

Don't worry about it, your doing the same at what I did, with you it's stalling with me it was hill starts.

I went off somewhere quiet and practiced over and over but I had to make myself go out and do it because I kept finding jobs to do instead.

Funny thing is though Paul, now I can do my hill starts, I dont have to make myself you out for a ride anymore, it's given me the confidence to just go out when I want to now - nice day feel like a ride out and just take off!

Re: Passed my Theory!!

Thanks Grotbag,

Think I need to do the same, find somewhere quiet and practice.

Paul.

Re: Passed my Theory!!

Within 2 weeks of getting the bike, i learned how to do it correctly.

After 1,000 miles, it is a piece of piss afterwards, i promise.

Is the theory test hard? I am going to take it in the next few weeks i think.

Re: Passed my Theory!!

Nice one mate , hope the bike practice and test goes all well.

Don't worry I kept stalling at every traffic light I came to, the cars would be try over take me everything. But now I have got the hang of it, its really quite easy, just take it easy and do it all in your own time.

Why not take it to a little strip of road not many cars go down and keep stopping and starting, stopping and starting. Thats exactly what I did.
